Home Staging Tips in New York City

April 15, 2023 by Jeremy Lindy

Selling your home can be a tedious task. You have to find the right buyer and those people need to provide you with a good offer. The best way to make them interested in your house or an apartment in New Your City is to stage it. However, this can be a tough task if you don’t know what you are doing. So, to help you out a bit, here are some amazing home staging tips for New Yorkers. 

Deep Clean the House

In order to be attractive, your home needs to be clean. Before you start staging, you have to do a thorough deep clean of each and every room. Go through every room, declutter things, and start cleaning. Also, make sure your bathroom and kitchen are spotless. Deep clean all the tiles, sinks, and your shower. If you cannot afford new appliances, then make sure to scrub the old ones so they are spotless. Additionally, all of your knickknacks and tchotchkes need to be stored away and hidden in order for the house not to look personalized and clean. 

Depersonalize Every Room

Speaking of depersonalization, you need to remove all of your personal objects. All your family photos, travel souvenirs and everything else that reminds potential buyers of the previous owner needs to go. You can pack those up and get them ready for moving, or tuck them away in boxes where they won’t be visible. Now that you have empty walls, you can add some fun art to fill up the place. You find some custom-made posters at Posteramo that are perfect for home staging. They look elegant and simple, and they provide personality to the room, but they still keep it simple enough and attractive to potential buyers. 

Get Rid of Any Odors

If you have a pet, you know that they can leave a certain scent in the room. All that odor needs to disappear when staging a home. To eliminate smells, you can use air fresheners, candles and various home fragrances that will provide a breath of fresh and nice-smelling air to your home. You can even bake a fresh batch of cookies for the potential buyers and present them with a treat while your home will smell amazing. 



Organize Everything

The potential buyers will open every cabinet and closet space you have. That’s why you have to make sure they are not messy. If you have storage space, pack everything up and store it safely. And if you don’t, it’s time to organize it all. You can start by throwing or giving away any clothing items and other stuff you don’t plan on using anymore. This will free up a lot of space. Then, what’s left of your clothes and accessories, make sure it is all organized and stored neatly. In the kitchen and bathroom, make sure to get rid of any personal things and ingredients, and leave the spaces either empty or organize what’s left of the items in those cabinets. This way, potential buyers can see what they can do with the space and decide if they like it or not. 

When selling your home you have to go through a lot of tasks. But, to make your home as attractive to potential buyers as possible, you have to get everything clean and organized. So, grab your tools, fix things up, deep clean every room and keep everything nice and neat. When you do that, potential buyers will be able to picture their family in those rooms and give you a nice offer.
